U-23 AFCON: CAF Shift Nigeria Vs Algeria, Third-Place Match Kick-Offs

The Confederation of African Football have made changes to the kick-off times of five matches at the ongoing Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal.

One of the matches affected is Nigeria's final Group B match against Algeria in Dakar on Friday.

It was initially scheduled to kick off at 3pm Senegalese time (4pm Nigeria), but will now start at 5pm (6pm Nigeria), the same time the other group match between Mali and Egypt has been shifted to.

CAF announced the changes on their website on Tuesday.

"The Organising Committee of the U-23 AFCON under the chairmanship of Amadou Diakite, on Tuesday 1 December 2015, decided to change the kick-off times of the third day matches of the group phase and the third-place match," CAF wrote.

"The matches of the third day in Dakar and M’Bour, initially planned to start at 15H00 GMT will now kick off at 17H00, whilst the third-place match has been fixed for 16H00 GMT."
